It was after 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were resting commenting on the golf, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Woodcote and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we could find the woman swiftly.

Our Areas of Specialties:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Croydon we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Croydon to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Woodcote (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix the usual troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
